I came across an article written by my blog friend James Leroy Wilson. Generally I agree with and enjoy reading Wilson’s articles, but I have to say this article didn’t rub me the right way. Here’s an excerpt: “Which brings us to the problem of Islam. Islam is not just a religion, it is a ...

I re-watched the Borat movie again tonight and I really wonder how Sacha Baron Cohen got away with the pranks he pulled. He risked his life on several occasions, especially the scene at the rodeo. After reading some websites about how Borat got away with duping these people, I found some interesting quotes from the ...

I’ve had this debate many times over the last 10 years or so with several different people.

With former President Jimmy Carter calling the Bush Administration the “Worst in history”, I figured today’s topic should relate to the war in Iraq. A lot of my readers credit me for complaining about the U.S. involvement in Iraq, but like many other people covering Iraq, I haven’t provided any alternative solution to the war ...

Since the weather wasn’t adequate enough to partake in any outdoor activities today, Han and I watched the movie “Bobby“; a film written and directed by Emilio Estivez that revolves around the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. I didn’t know what to expect, but I thought it was a really good movie and I think ...

P22 Walther (One of the guns used in the Virginia Massacre) “Action, fun, sport, speed, high velocity – catchwords for modern leisure activities. Now we are bringing fun into target shooting – the P22 makes fun shooting an experience. The compact design and style of a modern defense pistol in caliber .22 l.r. with all ...

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for China; I call it “growing pains”. Such is the inevitable effect of a rapidly developing and industrializing nation.
